Seats

Post by domtoni »

Being a short chap, I sit low in my 911. Does anyone make a device to put on the seat rail that will raise the seating position ? Car has its standard seats.

Tricky that s the transmission tunnel rail is welded to the shell, other side bolted on. Otherwise it would be a simple case of putting a good spacer between seat rai and shell rails. The seat fore/aft adjuster stops that.
You might have to get the set squab re-upholstered to a higher level?
Not expensive, ask Aldridge trimming in Wolverhampton or even Cobra seats in Telford!

I think you might be able to use the standard 911 seat raising blocks, like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234108066422 ... Sw3j1gK7A1
